About this file
This is a Questions and Answers (Q&A) document for RFP No. 15BCTS25R00000003 addressing clinician licensing requirements for substance use, mental health, and sex offender treatment services in Baltimore, MD. The Q&A clarifies two key points regarding licensing requirements:
The document confirms that all clinicians must be licensed or certified in Maryland and able to practice independently without supervision. It specifically addresses that while Licensed Master Social Workers (LMSW) and Licensed Graduate Professional Counselors (LGPC) can provide services under supervision, they cannot practice independently under this contract. However, clinicians with a Certified Associate Counselor – Alcohol and Drug (CAC-AD) license can independently provide substance use treatment services only, even if they also hold an LGPC. Mental health services must be provided by fully licensed practitioners who can practice independently.

Q&A (RFP No. 15BCTS25R00000003 - SU/MH/SOT in Baltimore, MD) No. Questions Answers
1. 1. On page 3 of Section 2.1 (Continuation of SF-1449), it reads, “All clinicians must be licensed or certified in the state of Maryland and must be able to practice independently, without supervision, in the state of Maryland”.
Whereas the Statement of Work, section 5.4.4 (page 35) says “Provisionally Licensed Clinicians, Licensed Interns, and Qualified Mental Health Professional (herein called a non-independently licensed clinician). A non-independently licensed clinician is defined as a person whose experience, training, and supervision are commensurate with the assigned tasks but has not yet met the criteria of their own profession for recognition as an independently licensed clinician. When listed in the DRC (Section 2.1 of SF 1449) a non-independently licensed clinician may provide treatment services within the scope of their license and under the direction of a fully licensed practitioner. When not listed in the DRC, the SCTC may authorize a non-independently licensed clinician to provide treatment services within their scope of practice, and under the direction of a fully licensed practitioner, on a temporary or permanent basis.
The scope of practice in Maryland for A Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) and a Licensed Graduate Professional Counselor allows them to provide treatment services within the scope of their license and under the direction of a fully licensed practitioner.
Will the government list in the DRC per Section 5.4.4 of the SOW and allow quoters to submit names, resumes, and licenses of LMSWs and LGPC for this contract?
No, the above information for question 1. Reflects the information required for this solicitation. “All clinicians must be licensed or certified in the state of Maryland and must be able to practice independently, without supervision, in the state of Maryland.”
2. If the government insists that LGPCs and LMSWs cannot provide treatment on this contract, will a clinician that possess Certified Associate Counselor – Alcohol and Drug (CAC-AD) license as well as LGPC be allowed to provide treatment within the scope of their CAC-AD license?
No where in the DRC is it stated or “insists that LGPCs and LMSWs cannot provide treatment on this contract…” A clinician who possesses a CAC-AD can practice and independently provide substance use services only as reflected on the DRC. If an individual possesses a LGPC as well as a CAC-AD, the only service they can provide independently is for substance use treatment. They will not be able to provide mental health services independently as that does not fall within the scope and practice of their LGPC, they require supervision.
